Oh yes. That happened. Check out this tweet from loon and former Rep. Cynthia McKinney:
If you love Jon Stewart, you should like Dieudonné! Give a listen here. http://t.co/ycU3TIyxbj

Why would one think it a parody account? Well, the comedian she is praising has made many anti-Semitic remarks in the past. He has also been fined for hate speech and has been on trial for defending terrorism, after the Paris attacks.

Nice piece of work, huh?

Yes. And completely lacking in self-awareness; Look at her follow-up tweet:
When is John McCain going to be arrested for supporting terrorism? Here, he and his sidekicks, Senators Lindsay… http://t.co/RcWiTChFVO

Double um.
Twitter users rightly gave the loon the business.
@cynthiamckinney …this is a joke, right? One of many reasons that I like Jon Stewart is that he’s not, y’know, an anti-Semite.

You know comparing a Jew to an anti-Semite is essentially the ultimate in trolling, right? Or was this a happy accident, @cynthiamckinney?

If it were anyone else, I'd think it was an honest mistake. RT @cynthiamckinney: If you love Jon Stewart, you should like Dieudonné!

@cynthiamckinney you've made a huge mistake.

Also, she’s disgusting. McKinney hasn’t recognized her mistake … the tweet has not been deleted. Probably because it wasn’t a mistake; She meant it.
